You can't do without a map of Beleriand, you know smilies/frown.gif. =/Įdit for dancing spawn's benefit: try google-image-searching to find your map (or any other pic you'd care to obtain, actually). I must admit, though, that there is something uncomfortable about the prospect of doing this. Tolkien is probably the only person that could help in this, unless further 'conjectural' mapping was done independantly. Unless other maps that are adaptable do exist, C. Hmmm, it would indeed be interesting if we could indeed come up with a mapped greater Middle-Earth than the one we've got now. You can find quite a few interesting maps on the net, although, as I said, nearly all of these show JRRT's world in it's early conceptual state. You can see that the coast come in not too far North of Angband I think this probably holds true for much of that missed from the North of Middle-Earth, so that while it's a shame we aren't acutally missing too much. hmm, slightly exagerated drawing of Thangorodrim though, but gives a damn good idea of what it was meant to look like.

You are right, though - the northern coastlines of Middle-Earth are something I have always vaguely wondered about.
